Fuck Ed Sheeran and his cowardice and supposed "neutrality". And as always ... Mad respect for Macklemore and
Finneas, Lukas Graham, and Aaron Rowe and Beoga, who left the tour due to Macklemore’s removal.
“Artists must not be silenced when they speak up for the oppressed,” Finneas posted on Instagram.
In his own statement, Rowe wrote,
“As Irish people we know all too well about genocide,
forced famine, and violent occupation. I cannot stand by and allow billionaires to use their position of power to silence the rightful voices of those who speak up against Israeli genocide and the savage murder of children. I would lose all respect for myself to carry on as normal.”
